Gnome2 hangs on startup

[Russell Francis]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced gnome2 hanging on startup 
if the sysctl variables

net.inet.tcp.blackhole=1
net.inet.udp.blackhole=1

are set?

After about a day of putzing around trying to get gnome to start, on a 
hunch, I set both variables to 0 and gnome started up perfectly.  Can 
anyone else duplicate or explain this?  If it isn't just me, perhaps a 
note should be put in the gnome2 port about this?

Thanks,
Russ
